Which is my good side? Male red-bellied woodpecker sharing a feeder with house finches (in a rare period when grackles and red-winged blackbirds weren't hogging it). DP115-2013 Posted April 25; created ditto Individual shots all taken April 24 during a time of mixed rain and snow. It's late April, for gosh sakes. Stop it, already!

Planet 01 b) Starting image. This was combined with its mirror image. A narrow strip of black and a wider strip of blue was added. The image was resized to a square aspect and rotated 180 degrees. Then the 'Polar Coordinates' filter was applied, and the final result was rotated another 180 degrees. Matthaei Botanical Gardens, Ann Arbor, Michigan March 17, 2013
Planet 01 a) Final Garden bench planet. (From half of a curved bench and its mirror image composited, resized, and polarized.)

Crab apple 'blossom' of a different kind. Playing around with a photo of a detail of a crab apple tree stump. This is just about the simplest mosaic you can imagine, namely the original image cropped to a square, and flipped in appropriate ways to be able to assemble the resulting set into a symmetric pattern. DP097-2013 Posted April 7; created ditto. Original taken at Dow Prairie, Nichols Arboretum, Ann Arbor April 5, 2013 (My guess for why completely healthy trees were cut down during the past year is that they just didn't belong growing on the tall grass prairie restoration that Dow Prairie is supposed to represent.)
Having a croak-off. No one would seriously claim that either of these birds, the red wiinged blackbird (left) or the common grackle, has a beautiful song. But in the spring, they sure do love to vocalize. At the bottom of this caption are links to web pages with recorded 'songs' or calls for each bird. You can easily find others, including videos of each one as it calls. DP092-2013 Posted April 2; processed April 1 Gallup Park, March 29. The individual shots were taken within a few minutes of each other, so both birds literally were calling at the same time. Links: http://animals.nationalgeographic.com/animals/birding/common-grackle/ and http://animals.nationalgeographic.com/animals/birding/red-winged-blackbird/ Apologies for not commenting yesterday. I'll try to keep up and catch up today. Spring seems to be bringing out the best in people photographically.
